We have sky digital with so many channels of shit to choose from. The only good thing is that I can watch motorsport live. I really wonder why we have it really. Prior to moving where I am now I spent 8 months without a telly at all. If there is anything that I'm addicted to its adrenaline and this site. :woohoo:

television - the great satan
lived for 5 years without it in south africa ---- social interaction - neighbourhood interaction - then came tv .......... and we were right back to the 'come in, sit down, shut up, it's on' attitude we had thought we had left behind in england.
they don't call it the 'idiot box' for nothing, you know...... :oi-grr:

Yeah - have the full sky deal, and the fuck-off big TV.
Sport, old comedy on UKTV and the music vids is ALL I use.
Mostly Rock and Roll is king in my studio. U2 one tree hill pumping as i type.
hmmmm - I'm 'over' adrenaline.

I don't have a TV and it's all good. Get to have heaps more time to muck around with bikes.
Here's an interesting article from the anti-tv brigade!

I have Foxtel here, and the main thing I watch is the sport; Live cricket, rugby and bike racing mainly. There is a lot of rubbish on it for my liking.

You should send that to Alanis Morisette - with a note explaing that 'THIS is fucking IRONIC'.

Years ago, I went to Murka to work. Checked out the TV - woohoo! 49 channels! So, I started surfing them: nup, no, crud, junk, nope, ....
Took about 25 minutes to go through them, and when I got to the end, I thought, "Ooh! Maybe something's on now....", and surfed them again, with the same result.
Yep, 49 channels of crap.
In the end, the most interesting channel was the weather channel, because (a) there was a snowstorm the week we were there, and it was important to know whether we could fly out of the small airport or not, and (b) there were some interesting 'weather facts', like how wind-chill worked, analysis of microclimates around urban zones, etc.
The only other channel remotely worth watching was one of the sports channels, because the SuperBowl was on the day before we left, and all the hooplah surrounding it was mildly interesting (if somewhat incomprehensible).

cheers for that. Jazbug and her old flaties played it all the time and now i can too..............
If you give up watching TV on a regular basis for say 6-8months you will find it impossible to sit thru the ads. You may find yourself going and doing something usefull. I played alot of music and rode out to muriwai alot in the evenings. Awesome view out there.
